Steem was close to the same, but the people with the "power" on the site did a bunch of stuff that would disadvantage everyone else. They did a lot of behind the scenes shady stuff. The final blow was a guy named Justin Sun bought a very large stake and then colluded with the exchanges to replace all of the witnesses with his friends. Hive was born when people decided they had enough, and forked the chain.

Wow such horror from folks, humans can be really greedy when it comes to their own personal gain... Am glad hive didn't turn out bad after all. What year was hive born then?

Umm I'm not sure but technically speaking just a couple of years ago.

Ohhh but has gotten up to 6 years ??

I've been on Steem/Hive since early on. That was approximately 7 years ago.

Ohhhh you guys are the old timers then
